A sneak peek behind the scenes of X-Men: First Class

Several scenes were shot in the estate’s wood-paneled library to which Seagers added extra books and furnishings. Preexisting artwork, meanwhile, was removed in order to circumvent copyright issues. James McAvoy, left, stars as the young Charles Xavier opposite Michael Fassbender, right, as Erik Lehnsherr (a.k.a. the future Magneto).
